Corals / Ceramic
For the series of fire corals – the most threatened lifeform in this assemblage – the artist has chosen a relatively abundant medium: glazed and fired clay. Corals play a key role in the production of the earth oxygen and thus are crucial for life on the planet. On the top floor, the ceramic corals stand atop a ground of terracotta splits, their auburn colour contrasting with the sculptures’ deep nocturnal greens.
